This is my first experience with wireless products, and this mouse, also marketed as Marathon Mouse, doesn't disappoint. I thought "hyperscroll" was just another gimmick, but within the first few hours of surfing, I found myself loving it. You press the button behind the scroll wheel and it basically takes off the "brakes." You can spin the wheel down to the bottom of a long page or list without messing with scrollbars. And speaking of scrolling, if you download the software from Logitech, "leaning" on the scroll wheel on one side or the other will scroll a wide page side to side. And two buttons at the top of the thumb curve will page you back or forward. These features I described are good because it keeps you from having to pick up and move the mouse a lot. The reason you don't want to do that is because it's kind of heavy. It's called "marathon" because it will last up to three years on the AA batteries because there are two of them. You can actually take one out because they aren't in a circuit, but then it's not "marathon" anymore; however, the remaining battery can be placed in either spot changing the center of gravity. So it's entirely up to the user as to what they want to do (but I still think it's heavy). I'm definitely happy with the mouse, and the dinky little receiver is great, too. It has a long range and I was able to pair it with the Logitech Wireless Illuminated Keyboard (not available here) using just the one, which frees up a USB port. (Meaning you don't have to get a dedicated combo set.) I have no problems recommending it.

I own several Logitech mouse devices. Almost all of them support the hyper scroll wheel which is a key feature for me. This mouse not only includes the back/forward thumb buttons that make internet browsing much more convenient, it also includes a third one that is activated by pressing down in an unmarked area below the back/forward buttons. As is the case with other Logitech mouse devices, those side buttons are programmable and you can even specify different profiles depending upon the application being used.

On the downside, while the mouse is fairly comfortable, it is much smaller than I expected considering its shape. It's almost sized like a notebook mouse. The second and more significant issue is the sensitivity of the right mouse button. For some reason, it is WAY oversensitive and simply laying your finger lightly over the top will cause it to trigger. I read this complaint from other users but now I see what they mean. I don't have this problem with any other Logitech mouse (and I have owned dozens in the past).

In summary, if you can get this for about 60% or less of its sticker price, then it's a good option UNLESS you're a gamer relying upon precise button response. Note that if you're looking for a mobile mouse, the Logitech Anywhere MX is a far better option; it's pricier but it's also the best mobile mouse on the market in my opinion (and not a bad option for desktops as well if you don't mind the smaller shape). If you have large hands and/or are looking for a larger mouse, then you'll have to be willing to spend much more for Logitech's upper line or consider Microsoft alternatives.

              What action does the little black button between the scroll wheel and the green light perform when pressed?

              &

              What does the light indicate when lit?

              It looks like the button depicts a refresh symbol on top and a gear of sorts on the bottom, both separated by a forward slash.

                It toggles the scroll wheel between ratcheted control (meaning that it does not spin freely, but instead has small points of resistance to allow greater user control) to non-ratcheted control (meaning that it does spin freely).

              • A:

                The extra button on top of the mouse is a lock button, used to switch between hyper fast and precision scrolling modes. The light is the battery indicator and turns red when the battery only has a couple of weeks of life left.

              Is the large thumb key programmable? Does the scroll click like a regular scroll? Can the scroll also be clicked (pushed down) and programmed?

              • A:

                The scroll can be used as a regular scroll with clicks, and also as a "hyper-fast" smooth scrolling (good for flying thru long documents or long web pages). These settings can be turned on/off back & forth via the switch below the scroller.

                And of course the scroll wheel can also be used as a clickable button. In fact, I think every single mouse out there can do that.

                A:

                Depends on the mouse. Look in the control panel and see if the mouse is listed under "mouse". If it is, it will show you what can be programmed. I have found that only microsoft makes mice that can be programmed to open programs or excel speadsheets or word docs, etc. I have a MS wireless mouse 5000 and it does have prgramable buttons. If you don't have a microsoft mouse, google your mouse and see what capabilities it has.

                Yes. When using the logitech software, all of the buttons can be programmed to do different things. Yes, the wheel clicks, and free spins. It's a simple push of the selector button to go back and forth. Yes, the wheel is also a button you can push on.

                It seems that it is definitely designed with right-handed users in mind, due to the contours and curves. I have never seen a left-handed version online or in the store, and I occasionally check because my wife is a lefty. You may have to check out a different model, which is a shame because this one is outstanding in every way.
